A Regional championship in the past with our U10 boys and we have had multiple age groups make the US Futsal National semi-finals with our U17 girls being a national finalist, " stated the Director of Coaching, Chris Hanlon.

After an extremely successful 2014 season with the Joplin Demize of the NPSL, Paul is now plying his trade with the St. Louis Ambush of the MASL. “He is a constant professional. You never know when you are going to get that call up, you never know when you are going to get that opportunity. You have to be ready if you want to play at the professional level. You might get one chance or one look. If you don’t make the most of it, you’re not going to get that chance again in the U.S. professional soccer market.” Stated Joplin Demize, Head Coach

Nomura is one of only 8 goalkeepers, with at least 750 minutes played, to allow fewer than 10 goals on the year and his 1.000 goals against average ranks ninth amongst goalkeepers who have reached that minutes played plateau.
